LEGO Play with Braille – English Alphabet 40656

I will say upfront these aren’t for sale in the USA where I live, so I haven’t purchased these yet. But I grew up with kids who were blind and kids with other handicaps that might use these as well. I would have LOVED to have this set to learn to communicate with them in their world. (Don’t get me wrong, I was friends with many and even learned to play chess from one of those friends!) I said many, many years ago when I saw a 6 peg LEGO block up close, that they would be a perfect braille tool! I’m so glad LEGO has finally done this. I’m spreading the word! Even pushing 70 now, I still know Special Education contacts. I won’t hesitate to recommend these! My one and only concern, is that the families who will need these the most will be the most likely to not be able to afford the price. Kids and families with Special Needs have huge medical bills as a result of the extra medical expenses involved in treatment of Special Needs, as well as many expenses for various kinds of therapy. Maybe LEGO. Could devise a program to underwrite all or a portion of the sets for kids especially with blindness!
